Doggy Day Care DeFuniak Springs

About: I am a proud dog mom to five rescue pups: Peyton lab/pit mix, Penny Aussie/pit mix, Lina Great Dane, Olive Rottweiler/lab mix, and Dexter hound/lab mix. I previously worked as a Veterinary Assistant while I was in school studying Veterinary Technology. I foster with multiple rescues when I’m able. I have plenty of experience and knowledge with dogs and cats of all ages. I know schedules can be busy and I'm hoping to help alleviate some of the pressure of taking care of a pup. I would love to help you with yours so contact me today! I look forward to hearing from you and even more so to meeting your four legged friends! I have a flexible schedule and can check in on your pets as needed, providing food, play time, walks, pets and belly rubs, and plenty of treats. My yard is entirely fenced in, sitting on almost half an acre. This provides tons of room for pups to run and play. My house is very dog friendly: pets allowed on furniture, things are "dog-proofed" so as to avoid any accidents or issues, TONS of chew toys and ropes and squeakers, with a great selection of dog treats and snacks. If a dog is staying in my home and needs to be crated if I have to leave, I have an XXL kennel to use for them. Guest pups can be fed with or away from my dogs. In your home, you tell me. I am very flexible. Whatever makes you feel comfortable and keeps your pet safe and happy.

“Bentley had an excellent stay with Susan and Marcus. No the genuinely love fur babies! My Bentley had plenty of exercise and outings to explore to his hearts content! Susan even did a photo shoot with him and the pictures are just simply adorable!! I won’t hesitate to call them back whenever we go on a trip - and can totally enjoy the time away knowing my “baby boy” is in good caring hands!💕 if you want a caring loving environment in which to leave your pet, look no further! This is the place! Thank you Susan and Scott for caring for my little guy as if he was your own!😃”

“Josie took amazing care of Quila while we were away and truly treated her like her own. The updates meant so much to us and gave us so much peace of mind. Quila came home happy and relaxed, and it was clear she was well loved and very comfortable with Josie! We’re so grateful for Josie’s attentiveness and kindness and we will absolutely be booking with her again. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

About: I have cared for and trained my dog, my mother’s and grandmother’s dogs. I have also provided a variety of personal home-care services to senior citizens, special needs children & nannied off and on throughout my early adult life. I love caring for and helping others. I substitute teach during the school year and I would love to care for pets during the summer time! It is my goal to at least work part time on top of another part time job! :) I have an apartment where I can keep pets for a short amount of time; we have a nice walking area and a dog park.

About: I have always had a dog by my side so I have a lot of experience. In our household live with us, our 2 year old Belgian shepherd Dodge, who needs to be worked out daily and our 12 year old Labrador mix Bella. For me, what counts is that our dogs are family members, so your dog is also in very good hands with me Since I am a housewife and mother, I am very flexible. If discussed in advance, I can also walk your dog on the weekends. Ich hatte morgens The dogs are allowed to move freely in our house. They can go on the couch or with us on the bed or playing in our backyard . If I’m in your house, I will play with them, cuddle and make your dogs feel safe

“Brittney was extremely warm and welcoming of our dog on her first ever doggy-day-care visit. She took her on trail walks, played a lot with her and sent us updates and pictures throughout the day! We couldn’t be happier with the experience and will definitely be taking her back to spend the day with Brittney again soon!”

About: Hi there! I’m an Alaqua Animal Refuge approved foster momma! I treat every animal like they’re part of my family, not just a booking. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away — whether that means structured walks, playtime, or plenty of snuggles on the couch. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing because I know how important peace of mind is when trusting someone with your best friend. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because I own my own business and work from home. This allows me to provide frequent supervision, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also have the flexibility to step away when needed for walks, drop-ins, or special care requests, so pets receive consistent care without long periods alone. I adjust care to each dog’s personality and needs — whether that’s structure and patience for puppies or extra comfort and gentle care for seniors. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow routines closely and provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel reassured. My goal is simple — happy, comfortable pets and owners who feel completely at ease while they’re away.

“Pictures & videos were sent throughout the day of our dog while being left with her.. The entire family treated our dog as if it was a part of their family.. She enjoyed staying & me and the family were able to enjoy ourselves without being worried about the dog..”

“Sweet woman! She responded quickly, was sensitive to my situation and worked with me on the scheduling, drop off, pick up, etc. she gave me updates on my puppy and he seemed so happy and safe there. I will be back and highly recommend”

“My older small dog was cared for extremely well by Tami. I loved that he had plenty of outdoor time and attention. I plan to use Tami's services every time I'm in town!”

About: I have always lived in a house with dogs and I love having them around and taking care of them! I have taken care of dogs for years now and hope to continue to do it into the future. I am available full time throughout the summer season for families that are traveling or just need a few nights out of town but cannot bring the pets! I can house sit, board, and walk your pets whenever is needed. I also will be around enough to ensure that your pets will be able to go outside whenever needed. If you pet chooses to stay with us, I have a loving golden retriever at home as well :) I have a dog at home, Norman, so caring for a pet is something I do everyday. I am used to taking him out and feeding him on a regular schedule so it will be easy for me to do the same with your pet :) I have a spacious home with my loving Golden retriever, Norman. We have a fenced in backyard and dog park here that is available for the dogs to run around in if wanted.

About: Our place or yours? We live in a 3/2 home.. Our back yard is fenced in and secure. We do have two doggies that love other dogs. I can come to your home also. This is all I do now, and I love it! I previously worked 5 1/2 years at a local animal hospital. I have been working with Rover 8 years and I love it! My husband is a sergeant at a local prison. Several local families I have pet sat for, for almost 11 years. I can come over and walk your dog(gies) each day, or check on them several times a day. Our pets are family members. We have two children that love animals as well. If you choose us, your kids will be treated with the love and fun they deserve. I have given medicine,diabetes shots, accommodated special needs doggies and special diets. If your baby needs their own space we have an empty room they can make their own sanctuary. I was a member of AmeriCorps for two years, here in Okaloosa county. They taught me more about helping local children and other local charities. Now, my only job is pet care. I do go to a few people's houses and let their animals out, play with them during the day. Other than that, I am home with my family and the pets. I try not to have too early drop offs or too late pick ups, as not to disturb our neighbors. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pets company. If your dog needs to be crated we can do that also. Pet Care is my full-time job. I board dogs out of my home, it's like they are part of my family. I also go to other people's houses and walk dogs to check on their pets. I have three fenced in yards two are dedicated to pet sitting. Most of the fences are new and they are all secure. My two sons definitely help with my pet sitting business.

About: I grew up with our K-9 police dogs at home and have been dog sitting for military families in Germany, New Mexico and Florida for 5 years. I‘m a stay at home wife with 2 dogs and no children. Unfortunately not able to watch any cats due to me being allergic to cats. Also not able to watch dogs that aren’t potty trained due to carpet floors. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have crates available if needed and lots of toys and treats.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for dogs. I recently moved back to the U.S. from the U.K., where I spent time caring for pups while their families traveled across Europe or back to the States. Now that I’m settled, I’m excited to offer boarding and drop-in visits for your furry family members! My three daughters love helping out and are gentle, playful, and hands-on with feeding, playtime, and giving lots of love. We treat every dog like one of our own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. Whether your pup is staying with us or just needs a quick check-in while you're out, you can count on us for reliable, loving care. We can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I’m home full-time and would love to care for your pet—whether it’s just for the day or a longer stay. I’m here to help in any way I can. I have a large backyard for playtime and three dog-loving daughters who enjoy spending time with our furry guests. We’re hands-on and love interacting with the dogs throughout the day. I also have a crate available if your pup needs it for sleeping or feeding—whatever makes them feel most comfortable!

“Thank you so much for meeting with Barley. I know he’s excited to come back next week for an extended stay!”
